I really liked this book! I wanted to read this book before I saw the movie. I still have not seen the movie. Silver Linings Playbook is the touching story of how Pat Peoples tries to rebuild and fill in the missing pieces in his life after four years in a mental institution. When Pat moves back home with his parents, he meets Tiffany, his childhood best friend's sister-in-law. Tiffany has her own issues she is dealing with through a therapist. What follows is a very touching story of how two people find their way together through very odd "dates." While Pat is still trying to recover his memories from his past, he awaits reuniting with his wife, Nikki and tries to build a relationship with his father. Pat's greatest therapy comes through exercise, his love of the Eagles football team, and his relationship with his Mom and brother and a great therapist. The reason Pat is not with his wife is revealed which adds to the anticipation of finishing the book. I am anxious to see if the movie plays out like the book, and Pat does find his silver lining after all.
